They feel reasonable apprehension and threat perception at the hands of the private respondents and pray that their personal/civil rights be not violated by them. Precisely, in the context of aforesaid relief, petitioners have approached the Superintendent of Police, Sonipat, District Sonipat & SHO Police Station Baroda, District Sonipat by way of representation dated 08.08.2021 (through courier).

On the asking of the Court, Mr. Rajat Gautam, DAG, Haryana accepts notice on behalf of State-respondents No.1 to 3.

At this stage, without meaning anything in the context of validity of marriage and majority of the petitioners, it would be just and appropriate to direct respondent No.2 to look into the grievance of the petitioners and pass an appropriate order on merits in accordance with law. Respondent No.2 would pass necessary order without being influenced by any pleadings made in the petition.

This order shall not debar the official respondents from proceeding against any of the parties, if they are involved in any other case. It would be appreciated if the needful is done within a period of one month from the date of receipt of certified copy

 of this order.

Petition stands disposed of accordingly.
